The Twitter plugin for WordPress supports embedding the a curated set of Tweets by pasting a Twitter collection URL into the WordPress post editor or by customizing a [twitter_collection] or [twitter_grid] WordPress shortcodes for a vertical or grid layout of Tweets respectively. WordPress users capable of editing themes may add a Twitter list to a theme's widget area through the WordPress widget editor.

Add an embedded collection to a WordPress post by copy-and-pasting a Twitter collection URL on its own line in the post content area. A collection will appear as a stacked list of Tweets.

The Twitter plugin for WordPress extends the oEmbed functionality for Twitter collection URLs available since WordPress 4.5 with additional plugin-specific functionality. URL-based embeds pass through the plugin's shortcode handler for site-wide customization of parameters. JavaScript normally returned in an oEmbed response is enqueued through the WordPress resource manager, improving site performance while centralizing customizations.

The Twitter plugin for WordPress registers the twitter_collection shortcode handler to allow customization of an embedded collection through a shortcode macro.

The Twitter plugin for WordPress also registers the twitter_grid shortcode handler to display a collection data in responsive grid template. The twitter_grid shortcode handler is also invoked for [twitter_collection template="grid"].

A website may set site-wide preferences for a collection by acting on the associative array passed to the shortcode_atts_twitter_collection WordPress filter. Functions acting on the filter should set a decimal integer when modifying the value of the width, height, or limit key.

Example:

/**
 * Always display a collection at a height of 400 pixels
 *
 * @param array $out        Parsed user-defined valid attributes or default attribute value
 * @param array $pairs      supported attributes and their default values
 * @param array $attributes user-defined attributes in the shortcode tag
 *
 * @return array options array with our customization applied
 */
function timeline_custom_options( $out, $pairs, $attributes )
{
  $out['height'] = 400;
  return $out;
}
add_filter( 'shortcode_atts_twitter_collection', 'timeline_custom_options', 10, 3 );

A website may also act on the shortcode_atts_twitter_grid shortcode.
